39 mentions across 21 events
The Lady Bird Lake Watershed is the drainage area in central Austin, Texas, tributary to Lady Bird Lake, a reservoir on the Colorado River formed by Longhorn Dam and stretching between Tom Miller Dam and Longhorn Dam through the center of the city. The lake, formerly known as Town Lake, is managed by the City of Austin, with the Watershed Protection Department monitoring water quality and conducting cleanup and algae-management efforts, and the Parks and Recreation Department overseeing the surrounding parkland and trail system. Properties that drain to the lake fall within this watershed and are referenced in City of Austin zoning, rezoning, and planned unit development cases and related public hearings.
